Welcome to Discovery Space!

At Airbus, we believe that education is one of the most powerful vehicles for progress. This is why, through the Airbus Foundation, we strive to use the fascinating power of aerospace to inspire the next generation into the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

As a highly skilled, global company, we have the duty to promote equitable education and a lifelong learning opportunity, which means ensuring our future workforce has the relevant skills to face tomorrow's challenges.

With our platform, Discovery Space, our goal has been to create a fun place for kids to practice their critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills and to empower them to drive and shape both their future and ours.

We believe that using the passion and knowledge of fellow Airbus employees is one of the most powerful ways to accelerate the path to realising this vision.

We realise that stepping into a classroom or a science club can feel like a daunting task. With that in mind, we created this toolkit to help make your presentation fun for kids AND easy for you.

How to Use This Toolkit

The Airbus Foundation Discovery Space Toolkit was designed to give you the freedom and flexibility to create the presentation, activity, or demo that works best for you and your particular audience. With our first theme, "Mission to the Moon," you will help students think about solutions to overcome the challenges we will face on the Moon. If you are more of an Aviation Geek, no worries! Our second theme on Flight Physics was made for you. With Flight Physics, you will be able to take students on a journey through the sky and dig deeper into how things fly! You will also find different ways to engage with your audience. Whether you choose to complete the web games, watch the animations, answer the suggested questions, or 3D design a space rocket and export it to Minecraft, make sure you follow the pre-visit checklist before leaving! Every year, starting in April and October, we will host a competition in partnership with Autodesk that will reward the best designs with many prizes to win!
